Kathy Hilton is keeping things hunky-dory with Kyle Richards as the sisters film another season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” together.
“I’m on my Ps and Qs,” she told Pvnew’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast while promoting her new Kathy Hilton x Anna Zuckerman jewelry collection at her Bel Air, Calif., mansion.
Hilton, 65, noted that she is only involving herself in any Richards-related drama when her younger sibling asks.

“I said to her, ‘I’m happy to be in the middle and hear your side, hear [their side] and help out,’” she said of her decision to lean into a “moderator” role as a “friend of” the cast for Season 14.
“I think she prefers [that],” Hilton elaborated. “If she needs me, I will [step in].”
The socialite — who returned to the beloved Bravo reality series after a season hiatus — said that she is also doing her best to “be honest” with Richards, 55, when sharing her feelings about any conflicts that may arise during production.
“I don’t want to see anybody drive anybody off a cliff. That’s not cool,” she told “Virtual Reali-Tea. “Look, nobody’s life is perfect, everybody goes through something and it makes us stronger.”
After feuding on “RHOBH” Season 12, Hilton and Richards made amends in the summer of 2023 at niece Whitney Davis’ wedding to Luke White.
Notably, Hilton felt that Richards didn’t have her back amid a contentious onscreen battle with then-co-star Lisa Rinna — an era of drama they have put behind them.
Shortly after the women repaired their relationship, Richards announced her separation from now-estranged husband Mauricio Umasnky last July.
Hilton has been a pillar of support for the “RHOBH” OG throughout the emotional ups and downs of her split from the real estate mogul, 53, facilitating space for the sisters’ bond to become stronger than it’s ever been before.
While she’s happy to reunite with Richards on the show, Hilton said that she is also enjoying spending time with her pals Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais — as well as forming a connection with newbie Bozoma “Boz” St. John.
“She’s a boss girl … she’s a serious businesswoman,” Hilton said of her first impression of the former Netflix chief marketing officer, 47, who is picking up a diamond for the first time following the exits of Annemarie Wiley and Crystal Kung Minkoff.
“I was actually afraid [for her] because some of our silly stuff … I can roll my [sleeves] up and get silly, I don’t care,” Hilton told us, elaborating on her initial interactions with St. John. “I said to her, ‘Are we scaring you off? We hope that you’re going to come back.’”
The “Paris in Love” matriarch shared that the reality TV rookie has acclimated well to her new gig on “Beverly Hills.”
“She was like, ‘I was just in the bathroom and I was looking for a window to try and escape!’ And so we all laughed,” she said. “But I think it’s a fun experience for her.”
Hilton also revealed that she and former nemesis Erika Jayne are in a “very good” place after squashing their beef over a convoluted assortment of issues.
“She has really evolved,” the socialite said of the “Pretty Mess” singer, 52, while also paying compliments to her fit physique. “Erika’s in great shape. I mean, those legs! She looks beautiful.”
“RHOBH” Season 14 stars Richards, Stracke, Beauvais, St. John, Jayne and Dorit Kemsley, plus Hilton and actress Jennifer Tilly as “friends of” the cast. The show — which has yet to receive a premiere date from Bravo — is currently filming.
